Hamish is certain he’s crashed right into a Hallmark Christmas movie, despite more car delays and road closures and the prospect of not seeing his sister for Christmas. With the storm and the holidays leaving Hamish with nowhere else to go, Ren kindly offers a place to stay. But when a car runs off the road in front of his property, Ren pulls the driver out and takes him home to get out of the cold. And after his dad’s passing earlier in the year, Ren’s Christmas is looking bleak. After a few failed attempts at love, he’s resigned to being single forever - after all, no guy wants to stay in his sleepy little town for long. Ren Brooks has always called Hartbridge, Montana, and his family hardware store, home. When a snowstorm diverts his plane to Montana and leaves him stranded two days before Christmas, he hires a car and drives right into a blizzard. Hamish Kenneally is moving from Australia to the US for a fresh start, beginning with Christmas at his sister’s place in Idaho. ![]()

You will hear how nervous Maxon was about the competition and how he accidentally met America before it started and liked her immediately. It's basically the same story as The Selection and The Elite, but it tells where the guys were and what they were doing/thinking when events occurred. (Do you watch The Bachelor on TV?)

Well, TVLine did the difficult, arduous math, considering dozens of Will They/Won’t They pairs and tabulating exactly how many episodes it took them to share that first, big kiss. When it comes to that first kiss, it’s all about the buildup - and our favorite TV shows certainly love to make us wait for that much-anticipated first smooch.īut which small-screen couple waited the most episodes before they locked lips? ![]() ![]() ![]() Please read: This is a nonrefundable digital download.
